It's not an official classification. All the conferences are D1 football bowl subdivision. The P4/G5-6 is a media creation.

There's literally no such thing as the G5.

Who chooses the rankings? Certainly not anyone who has a financial stake in them .

But those are big brands durrr. TV ratings durrrr. SEC durrrr.....

The ROI is entertainment. 2 million is fuckyou money for a guy like Cuban, or Campbell or Phil Knight. It's like you or I paying a hundred bucks for a Gopher hoodie to wear to a game. And for all the people bitching and moaning about pay to play, please google Sam Gilbert.

I understand why it was founded. But that's not really the case today.

Do you have any proof of this, even anecdotal?

I was switching back and forth between Oregon-JMU, ISU-Villanova, and Bears-Packers all evening. Since I detest NDSU and have regularly made fun of their delusional fan base, you clearly have no idea what you're talking about. But that should have been clear to anyone who read your...

No. The Pioneer League is a group of D1 schools that choose not to offer football scholarships. UST wasn't kicked out of D3 football. Morehead State has always been D1, but just chose to not offer scholarship football. Austin Peay was the same until they went back to offering scholarships...

Well, Notre Dame should have qualified for the playoffs.

Well, your opinion has nothing to do with how colleges choose to classify their athletic programs.If the outstate MN public schools all decided to drop down to D3, they could. UM-Morris actually did. (and Crookston probably should.)

Do you ever get tired of having your posts disproven? https://www.jdsupra.com/legalnews/third-circuit-resets-the-play-on-ncaa-8412142/

Why is that even something to discuss? There's literally no requirement for schools to be D2 or D3 in terms of size, public v. private etc. It's simply how they choose to classify and how much they choose to invest in athletics.

There's no salary cap in college football, and there's a very real chance that if anyone challenged years of eligibility requirements in court that they'd win.

Really? That's terrible.

I'm going to assume they have competent counsel that is telling them it's easier to give all the conferences a path than to fight it.
